We're back from our turkey induced comas. But the Twitterverse, obviously, wasn't on vacation (so that's why we had our intern monitor our Twitter feed, ahem). Here are a few blips that landed on his radar:
Of course we had to post something about Thanksgiving. Here's @Nwnk: I survived Thanksgiving in Detroit, and I have the apple pie to prove it.
The only thing that really didn't survive Thanksgiving in Detroit were the turkeys. Get it?
But Thanksgiving was just one day. A few other things were happening. This is what
@Pamperry was doing:
I'm attending Java Exchange Cafe speaking on Social Media and how Detroit can KICK BUTT
You know it's serious when the tweeter uses CAPS.
@Evangineer had a little insight into the city's potential future:
Given that Detroit was built on cheap & abundant oil in 20thC, shifting to cheap and abundant solar in 21stC can only make sense.
Green and cheap, we like it.
@313_lady had this to say:
Sooner or later the people of Detroit are going to wake up and realize our city needs a better reputation and outlook.....Hopefully sooner. There are a lot of people in and out of the city who already realize this.
Like @Londyjamel and her friends: some of my own friends are filling detroit's lungs with promise, with creativity, and art--we're waiting for it to hit the bloodstream.
We're glad to hear that.
Keep readying. Keep tweeting. And see you next week.
